Taylor Swift is an American singer-songwriter and a great actor. To pursue her music career, Swift often visited Nashville, Tennessee, the country music capital. There she co-wrote songs and tried to land a recording contract. Noting her dedication, Swift and her family moved to nearby Hendersonville, Tennessee, in an attempt to further Swift’s career. Taylor was earning renown as a country music singer by the age of 16. Early hits like “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me” appealed to country and pop fans alike and helped fuel the multi-platinum success of her albums, including the Grammy-winning Fearless (2008). During the 2010 Grammy Awards, Swift became the youngest artist in history to win Album of the Year for her sophomore album Fearless. She continued to top the charts with her 2014 studio effort 1989, which featured the No. 1 single “Shake it Off” and “Blank Space” and won Grammys for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. Her follow-up albums reputation (2018) and Lover (2019) also achieved immense commercial success. For her albums Speak Now and Red, Taylor became the first woman to sell more than one million copies of two albums in their opening week.
